On Healing

Posted on June 13th, 2009 by Greg

In World of Warcraft I fill the role of a resto shaman. On top of that I am the healing lead for my raid. One of the hardest things to do is to determine if the healing is effective or the right healer is assigned to the right job.

Right or wrong these are the general rules I use:
• Single target healers on direct damage (boss) damage -aka Tanks: Discipline Priests & Paladins
• Instant cast or AoE healers on the raid: Shaman, Druids & Holy Priests

Now there are situations where a fight gimmick really encourages a particular healing type. However a skilled team can get around that.
